Sparse graphs with smoothness constraints: Application to dimensionality reduction and semi-supervised classification

作者:

Highlights:

• A constrained sparse graph construction method is proposed.

• The method does not require a predefined affinity matrix.

• The proposed constraints impose edge weights smoothness.

• The proposed constraints lead to a structured sparse graph.

• Performance is assessed on graph-based label propagation and embedding.
